far improve last playoffs ready statements win work
I think statements are made in the playoffs and we're far away from that. We still want to improve and get ready for the playoffs. We didn't win anything the last two nights. Our work is far from over.
achieved against beat definitely four games good points red respect respected wings
We were able to get four points in two games against the Red Wings on the road, and historically that's never been the case. We definitely want some respect and I think we've achieved that. If you want to be respected as a good team, then you have to beat the good teams.
against crucial good hard struggling team win
We had crucial breakdowns against a good team and that is not going to work. It's hard to win when you are making mistakes. Sometimes you can get away with mistakes, but we're struggling right now.
felt five four game goals maybe per playing scoring win
We had been scoring a lot of goals and maybe we felt like we just couldn't lose. We started playing loose, but now we're not scoring four or five goals a game per night. And in this NHL, you're not going to win many goals scoring two goals a night.
against detroit expect win
It was an embarrassing effort. We got outplayed and outscored. If you expect to play like that and win against Detroit that's impossible.
control job stop win
I play to win and that is about it. My job is to stop the puck. I can't control anything else.
breaks consistent establish good playing relax tough win
It's tough to establish yourself. You just can't relax for a second. ... We've been playing well. Sometimes you get good breaks at home, but to win on a consistent basis, you have to be doing the right things, not just getting lucky.
boards guys hard middle mistakes protect win
You've got to protect the middle of the ice. The guys on the boards are not a concern. It's hard to win when you're making mistakes like that.
found perfect win
It's a win and they're not always going to be perfect games. They were better than us but we found a way to win.
everybody win
It's a confidence-booster for everybody to win at their rink.
goal space win
It's a big win for us. Our goal was to put more space between them and us in the standings.
area desperate gets kings seem tough win
It should be something that gets addressed, but it doesn't seem like it is. It's tough to win when you take so many penalties. The Kings were desperate and they were better than us in every area of the game.
great momentum nice records team together wins
It's nice to be a part of some history. Our team is a young team and we don't have a lot of records set. That's a lot of wins to put together in this league. It's a great momentum builder.
against behind confidence everybody great losing step streak team win
It's a big win against a team that's right behind us. With the losing streak we've been on, it's great for our confidence to get a win like that. Everybody has to step up.
